Yeah GTX 970 is your card to get here! I have a Gigabyte G1 Gaming 970 and love it!

 

Also if you wanted blue, this card has a Blue LED logo on the side of the card.

EVGA 970 FTW+

 

Were the heatpipe issues fixed with the EVGA cards? I heard they were overheating due to improper alignment

my own 970 SC works fine, even in a tiny chassis like the x51

I was even able to squeeze 50 more mhz out of the card while maintaining toasty but still reasonable temps
